Sugar Cane 歌词

Mama said she don't give a damn what those people say cane smoke can't be good for you day after day every year at harvest time when the black smoke filled the sky she'd pick me up and take me home and make me stay inside From Thibodaux to Raceland there's fire in the fields all the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain a dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane Christmas on the bayou, midnight come and gone driving past the sugar mill and all the lights are on the parking lot is full of trucks I can see the furnace glow everybody's working overtime, it's a good job even though From Thibodaux to Raceland there's fire in the fields all the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain a dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane First came the sugar cane, then came Thibodaux cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads they burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the company money makes the world go round, money, money, money From Thibodaux to Raceland there's fire in the fields all the way up the bayou from Lafourche to Iberville dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain a dirty dark at daybreak burning the sugar cane The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow the air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexico dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain a dirty deal with the Devil, burning the sugar cane
